    In 1987, I was a Toyota master technician. The brand-new 1987 Camrys had a problem with brake pulsation because of rotor run out. Under warranty, Toyota would have us replacing everything from the spindle outward. They would also have us resurface rotors using a bench lathe. This didn't fix more than half of the cars with this problem. In 1988, I went to work for Acura/Honda. They trained me on the proper way to deal with this rotor run out problem using the Quick Lathe from New Way. This blew me away because it worked so perfectly! When I opened Japanese Motor Works in 1992, the first special tool but I bought was a Quick Lathe. It has treated me perfectly since yesterday. It would not fit on a 2008 Acura RL. I then demoed the Pro-Cut 9.0. I had the rep leave it with me and signed a contract to purchase it. It does a better job in one third the time of the New Way. And, for your information every Japanese manufacturer requires the use of an on the car brake lathe. And every hat type rotor has some lateral run out which I guarantee will ultimately cause brake pulsation. And every time we install new rotors in this situation, we resurface them. And every time we find and remove the lateral run out to make a perfect brake job. Just saying.
